The control panel on the Atlas Copco XATS 156C is located at the center of the rear end of the unit. It groups components like the air pressure gauge and the control switch. To operate it:
1. Locate the control panel at the rear center of the unit. 2. Use the control switch to start or stop the compressor. 3. Monitor the air pressure using the air pressure gauge.
No further operating steps are detailed in the provided context.

FUEL SYSTEM BRAKE (= OPTION) ADJUSTMENT Before jacking up the compressor, connect it to a towing vehicle or attach a minimum weight of 50 kg (110 lb) to the towbar. BRAKE SHOE ADJUSTMENT Check the thickness of the brake lining. Remove both black plastic plugs (5), one on each wheel.
TEST PROCEDURE OF BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT Correct and wrong position of markings 1. Check if the towing eye rod of the overrun brake mechanism is in the outmost position. 2. Check if the adjustable towbar (= option) is in the actual towing position.
BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT 1. With the towing eye pulled out in the outmost position and the hand brake lever in the downward (4) (2) position (see Figure), loosen the lock nuts (2). Turn adjusting nuts and brake cable nuts (4) clockwise until there is no slack in the brake mechanism.
WHEELS LUBRICATION WHEEL CHECK • Check wheel bolts for firm seating (initially) • Check hub caps for firm seating (every 2,500 km or anually) • Check tyres for uneven wear (every 2,500 km or anually) • Check lateral play of wheel bearing. If necessary, readjust.
WHEEL BEARING ADJUSTMENT Conventional taper roller bearings Compact bearings Taper roller bearings are recognisable by the conical Compact bearings are recognizable by their profile of the hub cap. cylindrical hub cap shape. • Lever off hub cap. Remove split pin from axle nut If noticeable bearing play is felt, the and tighten so that rotation of the wheel is slightly compact bearings should be replaced.
TOWBAR AND OVERRUN BRAKE TOWBAR AND OVERRUN BRAKE CHECK Check coupling head First initially, then every 5,000 kilometres or annually. Check coupling head for wear and correct operation. Check the wear indicator (use within the "+" range only). Check the coupling head fastenings (see arrows, Figure) at regular intervals for firm seating.
